Your first step in diving
During the Open Water Diver course, you will learn most of the theory of diving and a lot of important diving skills.
“You can learn to dive even in a day, but you need more time to learn safe diving.” Therefore, we want to give the student enough time to properly acquire all the necessary skills for safe diving. That is the reason we recommend completing the course over four days.
We also understand that sometimes time on holiday is limited. Because of this, we offer three different ways from which you can choose the most appropriate way for you to complete the course. To the best of our ability, we can help you find a local dive center to complete the pool and theory sections before your holiday begins.
After completing the course successfully, You gained international diving certification which is known worldwide, and you have permission to make recreational dives to a depth of 18 meters. The certification card is available everywhere You go in the PADI or SSI application.
Choose the best option for You:
